The feature works as a photographic memory by taking screenshots (also called &#8220;snapshots&#8221;) every five seconds from the previous capture and then saving them on the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/change-space-allocation-recall-windows-11\/\">storage reserved for Recall<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When you perform a search using natural language in the Recall app, the feature will use AI to analyze the images, bringing up the most relevant content with suggestions for different actions you can take to re-engage it.<\/p>\n<p>Since Recall continuously takes screenshots of everything you do on the computer, sometimes you may want to delete data from a specific period or clear all the snapshots for different reasons, including troubleshooting problems. If you need to do this, the <strong>&#8220;Recall &amp; snapshots&#8221;<\/strong> settings pages include the necessary settings to delete the feature&#8217;s data.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I will teach you the steps to delete snapshots from the Recall feature on <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-24h2-new-features\">Windows 11 24H2<\/a> and higher releases.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#delele_all_recall_snapshots\">Clear all Recall snapshots on Windows 11<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#delele_some_recall_snapshots\">Delete timeframe Recall snapshots on Windows 11<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"delele_all_recall_snapshots\">Clear all Recall snapshots on Windows 11<\/h2>\n<p>To clear all the Recall data from Windows 11, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong> on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Privacy &amp; security<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>&#8220;Recall &amp; snapshots&#8221;<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>&#8220;Delete snapshots&#8221;<\/strong> setting.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Delete all<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-169211\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recall-delete-all-snapshots-windows-11.webp?resize=827%2C620&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Recall delete all snapshots\" width=\"827\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recall-delete-all-snapshots-windows-11.webp?w=1017&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1017w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recall-delete-all-snapshots-windows-11.webp?resize=300%2C225&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recall-delete-all-snapshots-windows-11.webp?resize=766%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 766w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recall-delete-all-snapshots-windows-11.webp?resize=150%2C112&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Confirm deletion of the Recall snapshots.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you complete the steps, the timeline feature will remove all the snapshots from the computer.<\/p>\n<p>After clearing the Recall&#8217;s data, the feature won&#8217;t be able to find anything you have done in the past.
